In the farmers congress, which has
been sitting in Chicags for some days,
resolutions were passed calling upon the
government for many radical changes in
the interest of agriculture. Thomas II.
Dudley, of New Jersey, precipitAted
discussion on the tariff question by max
ing strong plea for protection in a very
able paper. The discussion was very in
teresting, but at times somewhat heated.
But the general drift of it showed that
the yeomanry of the United States favor
the protective policy.

The National Farmers congress which
met in Chicago last week passed reso-
luton favoring government ownership
and operation of telegraph system. 1t
was suggested that the surplus now ly-
ing idle in the treasury might be used for
putting the system in operation. Farm
ers, as class, are not directly heavy
patrons of the telegraph, but if they favor
the governmental system. and unitedlv
move IL the matter, they will no doubt
press it upon the attention of congress.
though it is doubtful that any formal
action will be taken on it in any event
for some time to come 1t is a vexed
question and will have to so through the
regulation series of lengthy disputations
IN congress before it is acted upon.

home a day or two since. He is much

the congress that if they would meet in
Topeka in 1888 free excursion would
be given them from the capital to the
iveliest and most wonderful city of its
age in the known world-Wichita, which
brought down the house and settled the
matter. Wherever and whenever the
name of the winning wonder is men
toned there never fails to be an enthu
siastic response. Every delegate there
had not only heard of Wichita, but
every one of them desired to see the

A SUGGESTION TO SOUTHERN
TO OWNS

The Manufacture er's Record makes q
suggestion to southern towns that is
worthy of all acceptation. Towns that
have aught to offer the capitalist and
business man and manufacturer should
advertise and persistently advertise.
PersistenCy is the key note, and the Re-
cords suggestion is commended to all:
'FThe business men of the south who are
leading in the great development of the
industrial interests of that section have
shown remarkable energy and enterprise
in making known to the
world the advantages and attractions
of the many progressive cities
that are springing up all over the south
ern states. 1t would be well, however,
for them to remember that the work has
really just commenced, and that if the
south is to keep up its present rate of
progress, there must be steady, persistent
efforts to secure this. It would be q
fatal mistake to imagine that this progress
has attained such momentum that it
would continue indefinitely of it's own
accord. The south's industrial interests
would, of course, still increase, but less
rapidly than the present condition of
affairs jdstifes.
The south is just at that position where
the wide attention which has been at
tracted can be turned to the best advan-
tage, but to do this liberal and pro-
gressiye spirit must be shown. The
same generous rivalry to secure the build
ing of railroads and the location Of new
industries must be displayed, and the ad-
vantages of the south must be constantly
placed before the whole country. It is
not enough that some great effort be made
for week or month to attract public
attention, expecting this to do for all
time, but week after week and month
after month the work must be
vigorously pushed. If there are any
special advantages possessed by town,
or if it has any inducements to offer, it
must keep these facts constantly before
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1887-05-10

the public. There ought then to be
somebody whose duty it is to attend
promptly to all inquiries. In many towns
there is no organization of any kind to
which such letters can be addressed, and
even IN some of those where bureaus
of Information, whether going under
that name or as chambers of commerce
or manufacturers associations, have
been organized, the fact is not known to
the country. and naturally not much good
can be accomplished. Suppose the peo-
pie of Atlanta would put into the hands
of the managers of their Manufacturers
Association $4,000 a year, and that
/ would be a small sum for the work to be
done, to be spent entirely in advertising.
The advantages and inducements that
Atlanta offers TO manufacturers could
then be kept prominently before the
country, and many people who desire to
establish factories in the sOuSh would
! write for full information; where
as now, not knowing of any such
institution authorized to furnish
the facts that are desired, they look else
where. The $4,000 thus spent, if judi
ciously used, would be returned to Allan
ia many fold. Aud what is true of Allan
ia is equally true of all other towns and
cities in the south. We believe that if
Decatur, Admission, Florence, South Pitts
burg or any of these towns would secu c
man who knows how to advertise judi
ciously, and give him $4,000 for that
purpose, the results would astonish even
those who were bold enough to attempt
such an undertaking.

IMPURE WATER AND TYPHOID
FEYERS

Many attacks. originating mainly with parties
intereste in other sources of water supply,
have been made upon the hygienC excellence
and purity Of the cistern water of New Orleans.
1t is known that all the better houses in New
Orleans are supplied with capacious cisterns,
and only the smaller and older buildings are
deficient in this respect, and as a consequence
the greatest part of the population of this city
habitually drink cistern water. 1t is fact that
as the city is impro we'd and built up the faCil-
tiles for collecting and preserving rain water
are constantly enlarged. To the constant use
of this water is clearly attributable the small
percentage of diseases from typhoid or enteriC
forms of fever here as compared with cities
which depend on lake or river water. The Chi
cago News, commenting on the subject says:
sanitary journal published in this city gives
prominence in its lates5 issue to some cOmpari-
sons made by Dr. Charles Smart, u. s. A., be
tween the death rate from typhoid fever in New
Orleans, city without sewerage but using
pure rain water for potable purposes, and in
Philadelphia, a city with a sewer system and a
contaminated water supply. In brief, 1t Is
shown that deaths from this disease in twenty
years-lS66 to 1885 have fallen from IS to Is in
every 100000 of population In New Orleans,
while in Philadelphia it has fluctuated between
Al and IS per 100000 during the same period
the average in the ten years ended in 1885 being
fraction over IS per 100000. The Sanitary
News says: "These figures point with an I'M
erring finger to the water supply as the princi
pal medium of communicating this disease"
Whit will, however, arrest the attention of
Chicago readers of the article in question is
the significance given to the Philadelphia
death rate from this disease. For the asst
twenty years IL has averaged 60 8 per 100000 of
the Philadelphia pOpulati n. But here in )hi-
Cago, according to the returns of physicians
tabulated by the health department, the aver
age. is much greater than this. In 16S there
were reported 495 deaths from typhoid fever in
CHICAGO, which is at the rate of "a for every
100000 of the total population.
The Cistern water of this cityis It's greatest
safeguard against many forms of intestinal
disease, and additional care should be taken to
insure its greater purity by keeping the csrerns
clean and protecting them against dust. Even
| as they are the water is good and wholesome in
a great majority of cases and the best to be
had.-LNew Orleans Picayune.
Fort Worth builded perhaps wiser than
! it knew when it secured more than 100
artesian wells, the waters of which are
soft and absolutely pure. This city, with
such healthfuI and abundant water supply
and magnificent system of sewerage, may
well congratulate itself and commiserate
those who are compelled to risk life and
health by drinking impure water.
